Working with federal security standards

When President Bush issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) in August 2004, he set in motion a concerted effort by the US government to define new standards for highly secure personal identification cards.

If your secure ID projects must now comply with emerging Personal Identity Verification (PIV) standards such as FIPS 201, call Fargo. Our HDP5000-LC printer/encoders are an ideal choice for meeting federal security requirements. In fact, they are on the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) FIPS 201 Approved Product List. With Fargo’s High Definition Printing™ Technology built-in, the HDP5000-LC and HDP600 both offer reverse-image film printing that’s tamper-evident and difficult to alter or forge. In addition, the HDP5000-LC and HDP600 can add overlaminates with holographic images, and encode a variety of technology cards with embedded electronics — including access control and biometric data storage.

Remember also that HID’s dedication to identity security goes far beyond printing and encoding ID cards. Our exclusive SecureMark® Technology helps protect your entire ID card issuance process, from the secure storage and tracking of card-making materials, to password-controlled printer access. After all, an ID card is only as secure as the system that issued it. And secure ID card issuance is a central part of the emerging PIV standards
